Mintons

Fantastic location, lovely little village with some nice pubs. House is great, really felt at home

We had a wonderful weeks stay at Mintons. The location was fabulous. Right next to a beach, where we watched wonderful sunrises and sunsets. The village of Shaldon, has lovely restaurants and shops. I would Recommend booking restaurants ahead, they are very popular. We also did paddle boarding and kayaking from the main beach at Shaldon.
The house was fully equipped and catered for all our needs. A nice touch of coffee, milk and wine left for us on arrival.
I Would definitely recommend and we hope to be back again soon.

Spacious property Games room Comfy beds TVs with Sky etc Piping hot water in showers Tasteful decor Fabulous views Close to local amenities with great little shops - bakery, butcher, coffee shop, pubs, grocery store and Post Office. Not enough bedroom storage - bedside tables etc Welcome pack - we have had some fabulous things left to welcome us to our holiday properties in the past. At Mintons it was wine and a bag of coffee - nice but quite basic, a pint of milk and some butter could be provided at least…thoughtful ideas make a BIG difference. The booking in and out times have been changed to ensure deep cleaning/airing (written on your website), due to COVID. The house had not been cleaned/checked to the standard we expect and had paid for! For example some furniture was incredibly dusty, we found things underneath furniture that had been left by previous occupants - a dirty sock, cigarette filters, half used hair product. There was part eaten ice cream in freezer, another sock in washing machine, lots of built up debris at back of sofa, floors not fully clean so impossible to walk around without dirtying socks, plates and cups in cupboard not clean, compost caddy very unhygienic as no bags supplied, hand soap in en-suite watered down!
Surely there is a list of EVERYTHING that needs completing and checking on changeover day?? Hot tap in en-suite faulty. Downstairs toilet didn’t flush properly. Odd mixture of kitchen utensils - electric whisk but no cheese grater?? Chest of drawers in bedroom 1 - handles missing, drawers very rickety.

This is a lovely home from home, great view and convenient for all village access. Garage parking was very useful, but a bit tight for larger vehicles.

Outstanding cottage in a great location. Everything in walking distance, fantastic views and a beautifully appointed property. For a place with all wooden floors the sound proofing was excellent. The private courtyard entrance to the double garage was ideal. We had two medium sized SUVs which fitted in the garage without an issue. The games/utility room on the ground floor is perfect for throwing your beach stuff in and so prevents bringing any sand etc. into the house. We had a lot of fun with the pool table while watching the Euros. Overall, this is a great cottage with four great sized bedrooms and a very spacious downstairs living area. We would rebook this property in a heartbeat.

Amazing place and beautiful location. Would love to live there as it is so peaceful and relaxing and nearby facilities were also easily accessible. Locals very friendly and a pleasure to have stayed there. Top marks.

We loved our stay at the Mintons, it is probably the best home in the very best location in Shaldon, which is a beautiful little English coastal village. The views are fantastic and there are some great pubs between 1 to 5 minutes walk away. I would highly recommend this place.

I couldn't believe the view from this house was just as in the pictures, and in fact everything was just as in the pictures. It was very large and roomy, but not cold. It was extremely well furnished and equipped. The Wifi was excellent and we were able to watch Netflix so the kids were happy. We did lots of walks straight from the house, and had dinner at the London Inn (excellent) and Clipper Cafe which was also good. The fish and chips from the local chippy were also excellent, but beware that eateries are not open on all nights.
